Umm, Ok......An Urkel car...No thanks :?

It looks interesting, but the preferred three wheeled design has 2 wheels in front for stability.

I don't know if a 250cc is enough to move 2 people at 50mph in that.

I suspect that thing isn't DOT certified, but then again it could be classified as a three wheeled motorcycle. They have similar vehichles on campus, but they are built by Mitsubishi and some are four wheeled.

I could see using one in town at speeds under 30 or so.

Like I said, they make real cars...

(not just those erkel mobiles).

FYI the Urkle car was a BMW Isetta, we have one in our collection along with a Nash Metropolitan. Neither were hot sellers since they were designed as commuter cars for a road going public

You mean the real urkel car, not that thing on ebay right?

I've seen tonnes of metropolitans, my parents are in a "metropolitan car club" :roll:

thejunkman · 07-29-2007, 08:58 PM

Yes the real Urkle car

You should see the '39 Nash limo a guy I know has. The radiator cap is even with my chin (I'm 5'11")... I think it has either a v-12 or 16... HUGE car and way too cool.
